To help deliver and learn to facilitate a variety of adventure activities for young people.

MAIN ACTIVITIES/TASKS

Assisting the instructor with the running of the session. This includes the set up and take down of equipment and safe facilitation of the day. Helping young
people take part in activities such as climbing, archery, bushcraft, obstacle courses, kayaking and team building. Most importantly you would be helping the young people to get the most out of
the programme, overcome barriers and enjoy themselves! Safety checks and maintaining equipment, vehicles and facilities.

The role will also involve practice in leading aspects of sessions, and eventually leading sessions independently.

This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. This means that we will arrange for a check to be carried out by the Disclosure and Barring Service
to confirm participants
have clearance for working with children. Please note that we support the rehabilitation of offenders and that minor offences are not necessarily a barrier.
